School Week 31 Photo Diary

We are finally on the home stretch of the school year. This week was a very full one and productive and long. We did have late starts every day this week but they were worth it. We took our time starting and it actually made the days go by quickly for us.

Monday: We had a late start to the day that continued for the rest of the week. They started the day with morning work and then we finished reading The Slippery Slope that took us way to long to finish.

After we finished reading the book, I had to rest my voice because I was starting to lose it. They finished watching season 1 of Blue Planet.

To end the day, I had them each work in their workbooks and do reading time separately for 15 minutes.

Tuesday: To start the day off, I had Ariana finish her workbook page that she didn't finish while Samantha did her reading time. After an hour, they switched.

When they finished with all that, we watched more Magic School Bus, then we discussed and they drew pictures of what they watched.

To end the day, we started reading The Tales of Beedle the Bard from the Harry Potter universe. I have been wanting to get into the wizard fairy tales.

Wednesday: To start the day off, we watched a movie. We had a rough night because Addy had to get a trip to the hospital because she had been battling a stomach bug the past 3 days and it affected every single one of us. The movie we watched was Growing Up Wild on Netflix. It was about 5 wild baby animals growing up.

After the movie, Airy finished some worksheets from last Friday while Sammy did some more workbook pages.

They did reading time together and then we started our Daniel Boone history unit. It was hard finding videos on YouTube about the history of Daniel Boone. All it brought up was the TV show. They enjoyed learning about him and they asked would they be making a Daniel Boone craft. We ended the day with reading more of Tales of Beedle the Bard.

Thursday: We had the latest start of the week today. They did their morning work and then we finished reading Tales of Beedle the Bard. After, they watched three videos on Daniel Boone's history. The then did some Daniel Boone coloring pages because I couldn't find a decent craft. I did have all of this information the summer before we started this school year, but a couple weeks ago, my laptop had to be recovered and all my temp files were lost.

After, I had Sammy finish some workbook pages while Ariana did some reading and then Ariana finished her day with doing some Reading Eggs lessons while Sammy did some reading on her own.

Friday: We were all excited that today was the end of the week and we would be starting our spring break. They had their morning work and then we watched Bill Nye the Science Guy. I finally told them about his new show coming to Netflix, so we are gearing ourselves up for new laughing moments.

To end the day, we read a book of classic tales. It's Dulac's The Snow Queen. We read the obvious, The Snow Queen. I don't recall ever hearing that story growing up, so it was a an enjoyable moment for all of us.
